Driver for Dell A920 scanner/inkjet printer

Hello. I've inherited a cheap and cheerful Dell printer/scanner (model A920). I don't believe Dell ever made a driver for the Mac... what is the best third party or open source driver to get this printer hooked up to my Powerbook G4 (running 10.4.11) or our brand new Intel MacBook?
Thanks,
James

If you have a PC that you could hook the printer to, you can use this workaround to share it:

Need the latest drivers for a Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer

I wanted to download and install the latest drivers for an HP Desket 895Cse inkjet printer but the only driver updates that are available on your website are for an HP Deskjet 895Cxi. I've never owned an HP Deskjet 895Cxi inkjet printer; only the HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer. Do these two models use the same set of drivers or does your website no longer offer updated drivers for an HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer?
I'm planning to address various sized envelopes for Christmas cards which I have done in the past using my older model HP Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer because my current HP printer; an HP C5280 Photosmart All In One inkjet printer will not allow me to print on odd sized greeting card envelopes; only standard sized business envelopes like a No. 10, No. 11 and a No. 12.
Last night I ordered new inkjet cartridges for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer; a #23 color cartridge and a #45 black cartridge; both cartridges set me back about $70.00 after applying discounts and using a promo coupon code from HP. I spoke to someone in tech support overseas yesterday who advised me to download the most up to date drivers for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer before I install the new cartridges and begin to address my Christmas card envelopes; about 75 envelopes; front and back.
If there are no new drivers available for my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer should I plan to return my new HP inkjet cartridges once I receive them because if my Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer will not allow me to print on anything unless I install the latest set of drivers for my Desket 895Cse inkjet printer and if there are no new drivers currently available on your website I might as well return my newly ordered cartidges as soon as I receive them by Fedex from HP and get my $70.00 back. Feedback on this would certainly be appreciated.

Why doesn't the website list the latest drivers for an 895Cse? Was the Deskjet 895Cse inkjet printer released for sale to the public before the Deskjet 895Cxi inkjet printer or visa versa? Basically what's the difference between the 2 models? Finally if I were to install my new cartridges which haven't arrived yet and choose not to install the drivers for the 895Cxi model will my 895Cse printer still work and be able to print?

Bluetooth Driver for dell(Inspiron N5110(ST: 3v82np1 ) is still not working well.

Hi,
I have tried installing "Dell Wireless 1701
802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v3.0+HS Driver "
But I saw neither wireless nor Bluetooth was defined.
As the drivers listed below are only the driver for wireless and bluetooth, I almost tried all of them, except the last three.

I had to install Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
Bluetooth Driver
The wireless adapter was defined by this driver, however, the Bluetooth still has an exclamation mark in front of it, and when the Dell WLAN and Bluetooth client installation finished, a pop up message said that Windows couldn't install the device
well, although there was a folder added in documents folder named 'Bluetooth Folder'
Yes, the Bluetooth was named with 'Generic Bluetooth adapter' before installing 'Driver above'. However, after installing the driver above, the Bluetooth adapter named with ' Dell wireless 1702 Bluetooth v3.0". But as you see it's
still not working will.
The sceen shot shows the device manger before installing Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
These screen shots shows the device manger after installing Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
I've lit windows detect the operating program for this device on the internet, it said "Windows has detected that the operating program of this device is up to date. As this screenshot shows.
What should I do because nothing lift to try? If you have a look at the ninth drivers in my previous message, you will see that no other drivers for Bluetooth lift.
Also, I have tried to install Intel
Centrino Wireless-N 1030 WiFi Driver
But I have been told that "the installation is blocked', This package of installation cannot be installed on your system' I don't know what this
means, is it because Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
Bluetooth Driver is being installed
Could you please take some of your preciout time out to read carefully my points below to finish this problem?
first:
Yes, if you had a look at my first post, you would have seen that I really have downloaded and installed the drivers suitable for bluetooth, which was only Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver, which made the bluetooth recognized by Windows 7(64Bit). However, the bluetooth in the device manager still has an exclamation mark as it is shown in the device manager.
I don't have any other drviers which can do more than the what Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver did because I have tried all the drivers listed under 'Network', exept the what are for Etherent.
Yes, when I have tried adding the bluetooth between two laptops(Mohammad and Nasreen). the bluetooth was added for both laptops as you see in these screenshots below:
The Bluetooth devices of Nasreen's laptop whose bluetooth is having some problems in Device mangage.
The Bluetooth devices of Mohammad's laptop whosse Bluetooh is defined well in device manager.
But there is still problem in the device managre as shown in the screenshot listed before.
Second: (Important) That when I want to send files or recieving between two bluetooth added in either laptop, I could send them. Also, when I open the Mohammad's bluetooth added in Nansreen's laptop( screenshot
below), I can show what is inside it.
However, when I open the the Nasreen's bluetooth addd in Mohammad's laptop, I noticed no reponse at all because as you see that disconnected is written in fornt "Nasreen-Pc" as this screenshot:
Although sometimes Nasreen-Pc gets connected as screenshot below, but I am still not able to open the Bluetooth folder of Nasreen-pc from Mohammad-pc. When trying to do that, no response is there.
In other times, Nasreen-pc gets connected for a while, but it comes back disconnected.
Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below) However,
the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
Finally: : when I clicked "right-click" on "Nasreen-PC" and then clicking on "detecting and troublshooting issues", I found that windows informed me that :
But which driver should I reinstall because I have already installed the Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver almost twice?
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Certain driver packages contain drivers from some of the essential services only and for additional services, separate drivers must be installed. Additionally, the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
Therefore, you are seeing the error.
If you are using the Bluetooth L2CAP Interface and Bluetooth Remote Control services and not able to install the services, you can try unpairing the device, restart the PC, pair the device and then check. If that too fails, you need to install a suitable
driver, sometimes even other OEM drivers solve the issue. You can Bing/Google about this. You can also contact Dell Support for more information.
Balaji Kundalam
Thanks a lot,
I really didn't understand what you mean with in your first part the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
The Bluetooth is integrated with
the laptop, then where other services will come from, all service are related to Bluetooth.
If there are some additional services not related to Bluetooth,
then how can I either let them functioning well or disable them in order to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark
on the name of my laptop in the Device and printers.
Also, I really have installed a
BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) for HP which really defined the same Bluetooth issue,
Device manager after installing the entire setup of driver BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on HP laptop
but when trying to install the same
BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on Dell, I faced the error below, although there is an icon for Bluetooth in
the system tray. Also, the Bluetooth is integrated as
you have seen in the device manager.
You didn't answer me: Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose
Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below) However, the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Problem with finding driver for Xerox Phaser 3117 laser printer.

Hello!
I have trouble with finding appropriate driver for my Xerox Pahser 3111 printer. There is no support for iOS on their official support website.
Thank you for your help.

Hello there, AnnaVod.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some helpful pointers for troubleshooting AirPrint on your iOS device:
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
For best results
Make sure your software is up to date. For iOS, verify that your device is using the latest version of iOS available and that the app you're printing from is up to date. For OS X, Use Software Update to update OS X and apps you've purchased from the Mac App Store.
To use your AirPrint printer with Wi-Fi, the printer must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device or Mac, either through bridging, or a direct connection to your Wi-Fi network.
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule are not supported with AirPrint. Connect your AirPrint printer to your network using Wi-Fi, or connect it to a LAN port on your AirPort device using Ethernet.
Make sure that your AirPrint printer is connected to your network before attempting to print. Some AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a network after being turned on.
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
Important: Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint. To search for an AirPrint printer model, use the Find feature of your web browser (usually Command-F) to search the list below.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Need Driver for Minolta PageWorks 20 Laser Printer, Mac OS 10.4.11, G5

Does anyone have any idea where I can find a driver for the Minolta PageWorks 20 printer? I can't find it on the Minolta site nor in a Google search. Generically it'll work with a LaserWriter driver, but I am unable to utilize the different configurations available on the printer itself (which tray to print from and so forth). Or if it's not available, does anyone know how I can customize the standard LaserWriter driver to run this specific printer? Many thanks!

OS Lion driver for Brother QL-570 Label Printer

Where to find driver for Brother QL-570 Label Printer ?
Have been to Brother web site no listing for OS Lion.
10.6
10.3,,, etc..

Also run Software Update, you will quickly find out if the printer is supported in Lion or not. The printer manufactureres supply Apple with drivers so if one isn't avaible via Software Update then Brother isn't supporting the device under Lion. Make sure the printer is connected to the computer and turned on when running Software Update.

Driver for Dell 5110cn printer on Lion

I'm looking for a printer driver that will install and function on a Lion 10.7.3 system. The printer is a Dell 5110cn color laser printer that was end-of-lifed in 2008, and Dell is "slow" to support printers that aren't current. The Dell installer that is available will not run without Rosetta. (Maybe the drivers work OK under Lion, but how do you install them without using the Installer?)
Dell Support suggested I try Xerox drivers for their sister model, since Xerox has updated their drivers for Lion. I have installed those drivers, but find that duplexing and paper feed from the multipurpose tray are not supported. I've tried the Phaser 6300DN and the 6360DN drivers installed by the Xerox installer: neither seems to support duplexing or the multipurpose tray, i.e., one may select those options in the print dialog box, but the printer will respond by printing on only one side of the paper that's pulled from the tray bin. Happily, it does print in color!
Does anyone have any insight or solutions for this issue? Thanks.

I can understand the tray call not working, as they often differ for each vendor. But duplexing is often the same call for all devices, so it is odd that this is not working.
What you can do is compare PPDs between the Dell and the Xerox. If the Dell is not installed on a previous system then hopfully you can take the old driver package apart and extract the PPD. If you cannot get the PPD then let me know and I can install on my 10.6 test Mac and get the PPD.
With the PPD open you will see an entry similar to the following;
*OpenGroup: Finishing/Finishing
*OpenUI *Duplex/Duplex: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50.0 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: DuplexNoTumble
*Duplex None/Off: "<</Duplex false /Tumble false>> systemdict /setpagedevice get exec"
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Long edge: "<</Duplex true /Tumble false>> systemdict /setpagedevice get exec"
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Short edge: "<</Duplex true /Tumble true>> systemdict /setpagedevice get exec"
*CloseUI: *Duplex
If you compare the Duplex entry in the Dell to that used by the Xerox then you may see what each printer uses.

Printer driver for Dell 3010

There is no Mac driver for the Dell 3010 printer on the Dell site. Anyone have a workaround or know of a driver I can use? It's a free printer.

Does it really surprise you that a company that only makes PCs does not support Macs?
The Dell site lists the printer language as "Host Based(GDI)". Translation--it won't work on a Mac or any Linux computer.

Printer driver for Dell Photo Printer 954

I am about to give my Macbok Pro to a person with a Dell Photo Printer 954. I have been trying to find a driver for the printer to install on the laptop but it appears that Dell doesn't make drivers for Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Printer and laptop to work together?
Thanks.

Not surprisingly, Dell doesn't provide an OS X driver for it. Assuming since you've asked it doesn't work, so you may need another printer. I've used Canon printers for years, and my curret MP560 AIO works nicely via wireless connection.

Reinstalling driver for Dell 1110 printer

The 10.5.7 update lost the driver for my Dell 1110 monochrome laser printer. I've been very happy with this printer for the past 18 months and am still on my starter toner cartridge, despite the printer telling me a year ago that I needed a new one.
FYI, this printer is actually a Samsung ML-2010 and you can get a driver here: http://driverscollection.com/?H=ML-2010&By=Samsung&SS=Mac%20OS%20X
If this link breaks, just email me and I'll send you a copy.
Dell should be ashamed for not providing this driver.

Hi tediousregistration,
It looks like the driver version you were using is quite old and that could potentially be the problem. Using a driver that's coming up on 4 years old is bound to "break" at some point. It's just frustrating when it happens.
I did some digging on the Internet and I found some links to various versions of the driver, perhaps trying a new version might resolve the issue.
Unfortunately with peripheral driver versions, it's up to the manufacturer to ensure compliance with the OS. It's possible, as 10.5.7 is still very new that a newer version might become available which supports functionality in this revision of OS X 10.5
I also am including a link for Gutenprint. Although it doesn't list that model of Samsung as one of the support drivers, I find that open source community is often the best place to go for older (or not as a common) models.

Driver for Dell v305 printer?

I have seen earlier posts concerning this issue, but was unable to resolve my problem. Recently bought a new iMac and am trying to hook a Dell v305 printer to it but haven't been able to find the right driver. Can anyone help?

Dell does not actually manufacture printers. They are re-badged printers from other makers. So it is possible that the other printer's driver will work.
A Google search on "Dell V305 Mac" suggests that it is actually the same printer as a Lexmark X4650. So you might try selecting that printer driver, if it is already installed, or going to the Lexmark support web site to download the Mac driver for it.
